Such a brilliant podcast, well done for highlighting this disgraceful mistake, it’s unbelievable that they were convicted without any specialist in FGM examining the baby. If they were paying attention to the relationship between the baby and her parents and how she was with them and also how she ran around the waiting room in crumlin. So unfair that they did not get proper interpreters, so many mistakes made
Such a tragic story so sympathetically told. Hope the cold case is reopened and the lovely family of Elizabeth get justice at last. The music was breathtaking
Fabulous podcast As always very well researched & great delivery.
A fascinating and heartbreaking story of criminality, forensic science and sleuthing.
I hope that the family will receive closure and that justice will prevail.
Documentary on 1 is normally well put together and entertaining.
Runaway Joe and Where is Jon however, are melodramatic, badly edited and drawn out instead of maintaining the usual high standards we have come to expect from RTE’s Doc on One. It sounds instead like the dross found in dumbed-down American made Gen-Z podcasts. Disappointing!
